"You shouldn't buy one," Musk said in the "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast in September. "I said don't buy this flamethrower. Don't buy it. Don't buy it, that's what I said.

Tesla's stock has been under serious pressure over the past week, at times dropping below $200 per share. Even though shares have pared some of the losses so far, the stock is still down 3.11 percent to $205.08.
